Well, my assumption was always that in a scenario such as: ISP makes me share my public-facing IP with 15 randos -> I get on a torrent for Sony Corporate Secrets [full pack] [2018].zip -> Sony's legal department connects a honeypot and harvests all IPs it sees on it and sends out subpoenae to identify everyone who is in a friendly jurisdiction, the circumstance that I'm NATted by my provider will actually do nontrivial work in reducing the probability that I am ultimately identified in a legally actionable way (especially if it were to take Sony a while to process its data). Is this not accurate?
- pseudalopex 8y agoYour ISP would usually have port mapping logs.
